Pope Benedict XVI met with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a pro-abortion rights Democrat, at the Vatican Wednesday.
Following the 15-minute meeting, the Vatican released a statement calling on Catholic legislators – such as Pelosi – to work to end abortion.
“His Holiness took the opportunity to speak of the requirements of the natural moral law and the Church’s consistent teaching on the dignity of human life from conception to natural death which enjoin all Catholics, and especially legislators, jurists and those responsible for the common good of society, to work in cooperation with all men and women of good will in creating a just system of laws capable of protecting human life at all stages of its development,” the statement said.
Last week the stimulus bill was rushed through congress because Nancy Pelosi had to to fly to Rome to meet the Pope. Nobody had a chance to read or digest legislation that will affect the country for many years to come so Pelosi could argue over abortion with the Pope.
I am sorry but that makes no sense at all. Did Pelosi think she could convince the Pope that her stance on abortion was OK for a Catholic??? In 15 minutes? How persuasive does she think she is???
